Mal/GSD takes many forms.
It all depends on what the dog, at that time, is used for.
A capital police Mal may never get really used. You can run for 5-6 years.
A city GSD will get used. You may get 3-4 years.
Its not really a totalitarian measure.
You just have to look at the dog and the service.
IMHO, when the dog shows a weakening, let them retire and enjoy the rest of their life as they have given a service that cannot be repaid.
Again, IM, strong HO.
Same as a veteran. You give me a day on that wall, Ill give you a 100 years...............

Going to agree with the grown as man vs dog statement.  As somebody who walked into a lot of people back yards for work, dogs are grossly readable and predictable in how they attack and how they defend themselves once you grab them.  One on one anybody not afraid of the dog is ultimately going to own the dog, the bigger you are the easier it is.  Sorry to burst the bubble of some of the members here but one dog is easily delt with provided you don't just roll over, pardon the pun.

I believe it's staged. Any threat to potus would be handled much differently if it was a real threat. Think about it! What's the one point being sold here? The fact that all these intruders to the White House were stopped without a "gun" further proving that citizens don't need guns to protect their families. That's why the dogs were so poor at engaging the "threat". I seriously believe the guy was sent in to make a statement and the dogs were poorly trained on purpose.

You don't really grok thought experiements do you? The question we are debating is whether a normal adult male can successfully defeat a working dog one on one. Saying "Hurr durr I'd just shoot the dog" has no bearing on the subject we are discussing, which is why I specifically excluded it. Because we aren't talking a "What would you do if you were out walking and a dog attacked" we are talking about "Can a grown man prevail over a dog."

A well trained dog gets distraction training which involves being touched, loud noises, pushed, etc.




A dog that releases when startled, hit, etc . Has not been well trained. It's a sign of piss poor training.

A cop I know just showed me his working dog this morning - a Dutch Shepherd.  It was pretty small compared to my GSD.  It was all friendly looking until I got to close to the window cage on his SUV and the dog flipped shit barking and snapping at me.  I think he would have liked that fence jumper.

Even owning a REAL dog is like having a teenage son that is a state wrestling champion.  You had better have established a level of respect early on.  I have had both.  My current Boerboel weighs what TWO Malinois do, and can run down my girlfriends 50lb terrier.  He is impervious to pain when he is focused.  

If a stranger came running into my property, they would be DOWN.  If anyone threatened myself or my girlfriend, there would be broken/crushed bones.  

I am by no means an expert, but the videos I've seen of police dogs, then, yes, if you can think straight with a dog latched onto your arm then you may be able to win the fight with your free arm.  IF you can stay calm.

With a dog like mine, bred to protect the farm in South Africa, not so much.

You are right that Mals are generally a bit lighter than GSDs.  In many cases this lighter weight comes in handy.  Sometimes you have to help a dog over a barrier that you will then crawl over yourself.  Having a bit less overall weight, the Mal ends up a bit faster.    

If you are really going to go with extremes, the dogs to use would be a Black Russian Terrier...120-140 lbs is even harder to man-handle than 100 (and really a proper GSD that is on the big side is probably more like 90lbs)

Ok, this was a good excuse to educate myself on the breed. So I've been reading up on the breed malinois and have to admit I am impressed by what I am reading. I just think that one of the two dogs we saw in that video might not be too well suited for the job:
1. Jordan is a 5 year old tan and black malinois and jmho is just not confident/fearless enough for that job. Either the training was too soft on him or his personality is just not suited for that role. There is no way on earth that that stupid kick should have in any way deterred that dog. I'd retire him or move him to duty that doesn't require a lay down your life attitude.
2. Hurricane I think did a good job considering he was handicapped by having a long leash attached to him the entire time. No fear displayed and he did knock the guy down on the initial surge. Just wasn't strong enough to keep the guy down solo which isn't so much a bad on him as it is a limitation of the breed being 65-75lb vs 90-100lb for a german shepherd.

That leads me to my thought that I personally would rather have german shepards for that type of scenario. I can assure you that skinny punk would not have been throwing a GSD around nearly as easily as the malinois and had they sent 2 german shepherds on him... he would have certainly been on the ground and locked down.

I have to say that given what I've seen with the two fence jumpers plus what happened in Canada... I'd be beefing up the white house if I was them.

I used to be in the "Any grown man could whoop a dogs ass if he keeps his cool and fights" camp, but then I met Officer Dingo.  

Dingo (a Belgian Mal) is now retired and living with my friend, but in his previous life he was with Phoenix PD and Denver SWAT.  He is 75lbs of pure bred fuck-you-up.  Even with protective gear on it's scary doing bite training with him.  He's helicopter trained, he can climb up and down ladders, and he doesn't flinch around flashbangs or gunfire (I got to watch him do a tactical demo by his former SWAT handler).  The dog is calm as a bomb until given the command to go into full apeshit mode.

A dog like him would have fucked that guy up.


Dingo likes belly rubs from kids as well doesn't he

didn't realize this one was still going but since others are doing the my dog is best bit... Here is mine, 81lbs of german boxer muscle ready to kick butts and take names. He is great at sensing bad guys so could never work at the white house. It would probably be frowned on if he went after BHO every time he walked by!

and it would just be wrong is someone didn't comment on how nice that view looked! Fine dog and I would imagine about as happy a setting as a dog could ask for right there.

and that video is what I expected the white house dogs to be like! Loved that one clip with the dog flying over the car to bust that guy and both go tumbling!

This one always impressed me (hopefully embedding works):

would it be wrong of me to be mentally cheering for the dogs to kill that SOB hurling bricks? That one GSD had him by the head and was pulling him like a tug toy!

Ok, this was a good excuse to educate myself on the breed. So I've been reading up on the breed malinois and have to admit I am impressed by what I am reading. I just think that one of the two dogs we saw in that video might not be too well suited for the job:

1. Jordan is a 5 year old tan and black malinois and jmho is just not confident/fearless enough for that job. Either the training was too soft on him or his personality is just not suited for that role. There is no way on earth that that stupid kick should have in any way deterred that dog. I'd retire him or move him to duty that doesn't require a lay down your life attitude.

2. Hurricane I think did a good job considering he was handicapped by having a long leash attached to him the entire time. No fear displayed and he did knock the guy down on the initial surge. Just wasn't strong enough to keep the guy down solo which isn't so much a bad on him as it is a limitation of the breed being 65-75lb vs 90-100lb for a german shepherd.



That leads me to my thought that I personally would rather have german shepards for that type of scenario. I can assure you that skinny punk would not have been throwing a GSD around nearly as easily as the malinois and had they sent 2 german shepherds on him... he would have certainly been on the ground and locked down.



I have to say that given what I've seen with the two fence jumpers plus what happened in Canada... I'd be beefing up the white house if I was them.
You are right that Mals are generally a bit lighter than GSDs.  In many cases this lighter weight comes in handy.  Sometimes you have to help a dog over a barrier that you will then crawl over yourself.  Having a bit less overall weight, the Mal ends up a bit faster.    



If you are really going to go with extremes, the dogs to use would be a Black Russian Terrier...120-140 lbs is even harder to man-handle than 100 (and really a proper GSD that is on the big side is probably more like 90lbs)

or  a Boerboel, Bullmastiff, or other heavyweight dog of attack lineage.  Good luck hoisting a Boerboel over your head to toss him over a fence he can't climb himself though.





Please tell me about your personal experience with the BRT.
Never had any.  Never intended to give the impression I have.  Simply stating that if someone is going to say a GSD is better than a Mal due to it being heavier which means harder to throw around, then why stop there?  There are plenty of athletic dogs which can be trained to be police dogs, and some of these dogs outweigh a GSD by a significant margin.

 



Let me expand by saying I was actually being facetious to a degree.  If you have one available dog, you'd not want that dog to be big and heavy because in many cases that weight and size will get in the way.  (A Mal or GSD can get over pretty tall obstacles.  In my experience Bull Mastiffs don't have as good of ability to get over tall obstacles, and because they are heavier, lifting/tossing over becomes much more difficult).  I also recognize that really in many cases the dog succeeds in his task simply by delaying the human target.  The dog doesn't have to defeat the criminal just slow him up enough for the humans with boomsticks to arrive.  In this regard the Mal does fine.




HOWEVER if it is a situation where two or more dogs are going to be available, I think there would be a lot of utility in having a lighter, faster, dog (Mal) paired with a heavier take-down dog...probably a dog that is heavier than your average working line GSD (note working line GSD tend to be smaller than pet and/or show lines), something like a BRT, Rott, whatever.
